The Moroccan dirham (Dh) is a closed currency, which means you cannot get it outside the country. Morocco’s rural areas still operate on a cash economy, but cards are widely accepted in towns and cities, so you'll need to carry both.
Morocco’s tap water is not safe to drink. Bring a water bottle with a filter to avoid buying plastic.
Some public toilets do not have toilet paper. Unless you are comfortable using water to clean yourself, keep a pack of tissues and some antibacterial hand gel or wipes on you.
It’s best not to feed street animals from your table because they might not leave, but you can keep leftovers and feed them elsewhere on the street. If you're an animal lover, find out if there is a rescue center where you're staying and show your support with a donation or by volunteering your time.
Morocco has a varied climate with a Mediterranean pattern along the coast (mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers) and a more extreme continental climate inland and to the south, which is arid with very hot summers and cooler winters. The rainy season is typically from October to March.
The best time to visit Morocco is during the spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November)
